Any species you can list?
Crocodiles of the World News from Crocodiles Of The World
- Thread starter zoogiraffe
- Start date
The reptiles included a few monitors (including Green Tree), a royal python and panther chameleon. The invertebrates included some jungle nymphs, sacred scarab beetle, gooty sapphire tarantula and a giant scorpion... forget which one exactly, but it was an Asian one, I believe.
On October 27th, the zoo announced they moved their caiman lizards into a new exhibit in the Main Zoo area.

The zoo have announced the arrival of a new species, the Green Anaconda.
Does the zoo have any plans to display their American Crocodiles at some point? And where specifically are the Auffenberg’s Monitors located in the zoo?

Three Siamese Crocodiles have hatched at Crocodiles of the World. The hatchlings will be kept with the parents as this species is known to be attentive to their young - reported on their FB page.

Freshwater Crocodiles are now displayed in the main zoo building. Should make for easier viewing and photography!
I visited yesterday, and can confirm that viewing and photography are indeed easier now. Including decent underwater viewing too:
They now reside in the exhibit which previously held broad-snouted caiman, in the central part of the main reptile house (adjacent to Schneider's dwarf caiman / smooth-fronted caiman).

Are the Broad-snouts still on display?I visited yesterday, and can confirm that viewing and photography are indeed easier now. Including decent underwater viewing too:

I saw one (juvenile?) in the exhibit opposite the entrance to the main reptile house (previously held juvenile American alligators, and, more recently, juvenile Tomistoma).
